After nine o'clock, there were not many people in the store. The workers in the mining area also returned home to celebrate the New Year. Unlike before when they were too busy, it was enough for her mother to look after the store alone, so Zheng Enxi went home to rest.
It’s not yet ten o’clock and the sun is shining brightly, which is perfect for drying bedding.
Zheng Enxi thought that since they had to do a thorough cleaning before the New Year, both inside and outside the house had to be cleaned, and she couldn't let her mother do all these things, so Zheng Enxi wanted to share the burden with her mother.
Zheng Enxi took a quilt out to dry, and after coming back, she tidied the mattress.
Suddenly, a photo fell.
Zheng Enxi didn't take it seriously. She picked up the photo as if nothing had happened and prepared to put it back under the mattress.
The moment she picked up the photo and looked at it, Zheng Enxi was stunned.
The young man in the photo is the father, yes, but the woman holding the baby girl is not the mother.
Is Dad having an affair?
Dad has other children?
Zheng Enxi widened her eyes in surprise and looked carefully at the yellowed old photo.
For a moment, Zheng Enxi was stunned.
Upon closer inspection, the woman holding the baby girl actually looks very similar to her.
What is going on?
In shock, the photo in Zheng Enxi's hand fell to the ground. Only then did Zheng Enxi notice that there were words on the back of the yellowed old photo.
Our daughter is one month old. We hope she grows up safe and healthy!
Following the line of words and looking down at the date, Zheng Enxi could be sure that the baby girl in the photo was her.
The woman holding her looks a bit like her, so she should be her mother.
As if she suddenly remembered something, Zheng Enxi found the family photo album and compared it with her childhood photos.
The photo of her when she was eight months old was taken in the living area of the mining area. The person holding her at that time was her current mother.
Zheng Enxi searched through all the family photo albums, including the photos taken every year after she was eight months old, but there were only photos of her father and her current mother, but no sign of that woman.
Doesn't that woman want her anymore?
Or has he passed away?
Her father died when she was very young, and she had never seen the woman in the full moon photo.
Whether she is alive or dead, it should have nothing to do with her.
The mother who loves and cares for her now... is definitely not her biological mother!
Is she an orphan?
Over the years, Zheng Enxi has never heard that she has any other relatives. She and her current mother are the only ones who depend on each other.
It seems that she is indeed an orphan, and her current mother must have been kind enough to adopt her.
This reality was so cruel that Zheng Enxi didn't dare to think about it anymore. She sat on the ground and started crying.
No matter how people outside bully her, no matter how others look down on her, when she returns home, at least she has her mother who loves her.
However, this mother who loved her so much was not her biological mother!
Will there come a day when this mother no longer loves her or wants her?
Zheng Enxi was so sad and her heart ached at the thought that she might lose everything!
Tears gathered more and more in her eyes, quietly overflowed, and slowly slid down her cheeks.
Soon, Zheng Enxi's pale little face was soaked with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Why be so cruel to her?
Zheng Enxi really hates this fact!
…
Half an hour later, Zheng Enxi's tears stopped.
She got up from the ground, put the old photos back to their place as if nothing had happened, and stopped drying the quilt.
Zheng Enxi thought a lot. She wanted to plan for her life and couldn't just watch herself end up with nothing.
She must work hard to get what she wants.
She can definitely have everything she wants.
